Anyone got some photos of the Breadvan Anglia's .
I heard recently that the Dave Simpson car is being restored?
Someone told me that Jack Nazers Anglia was scrapped and the running gear put into his Mk1 Cortina.

I heard a dubious mustachioed Westie has the Fahey car?
Hadn't heard anything about the Simpson car. I assumed it was long gone? Would love to know more.
Neil Doyle also had one, with a small block Chevy. That one ended up in the South Island and driven by Alex Dickie, but these cars were all outlawed from OSCA after 1972. Dickie built a Victor and I think some of the running gear from the Anglia was put in this.
The Nazer car seems to have vanished immediately following the last Allcomer season.
Most were fairly well useless after 1972, once OSCA had banned all the old Allcomers. There was nowhere to race them and they couldn't really be adapted for road use because there was nowhere to fit headlights.
The Fahey/Ward car was at the Amon Festival, the Nazer car was totalled against the bank at Levin, be great to see the Simpson and Doyle cars restored, should they still exist.
Here are a couple of period shots of the Simpson and Fahey Anglias both from the Steve twist collection that can be found elsewhere on this forum.
I thought there were only four Breadvan Anglias, as listed above, but these shots show a fifth. Does anyone know anything about the red with white stripes car in these shots?
Just looked through the Levin book, there is a #92 Anglia of D H Hamill and a #92 Anglia of G Huxford they don't fit in with the other car numbers though. Will do some more concentrated research later.

Heres the man himself with the car. Taken at Hampton Downs
Pallmall.........the 'prettiest' Anglia/Breadvan in my mind had to be the Hamlin/Charles version,first time I saw it was at 'Practise' Wigram on the Friday ( I've mentioned before,my Father was involved with 'timing/Lap Scoring',so I got in for 'FREE',which ment into the pits in the Middle of the Circuit/Start/Finish...this was too good to miss...I had an understanding Boss!)..well this Anglia was immaculate,great lines,Metallic Silver Paint,couple of laps into practice it found its self on its roof comming on to the finishing straight,doors 'flapping open'...arrived next day ready to race sporting a 'Black' vynal roof..........I've mentioned this Anglia in discussion many times,how I thought it was the nicest one built ,it would now appear I had the owners Name wrong!!!.........I believed it came from Auckland area,maybe Hamilton....thought I saw a photo on this thread???...was it Hamill & Charles....I think it was entered as, (Hamlin)Hamill & Charles Conversion....like they where intending to build them for sale ,I thought at the time..........regards thunder427/MJOriginally Posted by pallmall
I guess the key is when was the Zephyr Corvette blue?
Its first season before being painted white and gaining the stacks?
The only meeting the entry list matches anything close to the other car numbers is November 1966 for G.Huxford.
In March 1968 there is a fastback Anglia #92 for RJ Slacke from Masterton.
The other possibilities are that it is the Radisich car before it got the droop front, was it ever Red?
Is it the ex Sipmson car, where did that go to?
I haven't got a full enough collection of Motorman or Autonews anymore.
I'm pretty sure those shots are from the 1966/67 season Gavin, after Coppins had sold the car. Or at the very least, post-1966 season. Could be anytime after that.
According to the Levin entry lists then it can only be March 1968, although the listing for 141 is Coppins in the Mustang.

This is all from a very distant memory of that meeting ,but maybe some one can check with Wayne Huxford and see if that is Garys car ,I can sort of remember another fast back one being around at that time ,also although Rod is in the program with the other Anglia it was not ready for that meeting ,I brought quite a lot of stuff off them a couple of weeks before that meeting so thats how I know the other car was not up and going.I think you will find that Ken Bailey ran with Rods entry and number for that meeting ,as the entry list filled up quite quick ,there are a lot on the reserve lists in the program,if you look close at that photo I think you can actually make out the y on the end of the drivers name on the door
Huxford,s it is. Fascinating to look through that old program. Someone raced a Standard 10??! The Holden is Mcpherson who then raced an EH,and now I know that the Cortina was Barry Phillips. Thanks, now I know who the drivers are from that meeting as I coudn't remember from all those years ago!
Sorry for any confusion. I was refering to the post on the 1st page of this thread that had the Levin program displayed. I should not have had that last can!!
I'm pretty sure Gary Huxford breadvanned one of his Anglias - no time to check right now
The ex-Radisich/Sprague car also ended up in Wellington - with Gary Lang, I think - but was rarely seen in events other than hillclimbs
I seem to remember a Triumph 2000 engined fb Anglia at Levin when we (OSCA) was up there to start a N I branch. (I could be wrong though!)
PK.
That would be the Triang..check posts 45,46,47 on this thread paul
And No.7 in my list
David did manage to ID the date of those photos as being 26/11/1966 back on the Steve Twist Collection Part 1: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...n-Part-1/page2
